View From the Bushes

This is going to be a pretty quick entry. I actually am home from work today. I'm taking a couple of days off in an attempt to make sure that I get everything I need done in time for GenCon. Of course, as usual, rather than having an uninterrupted day to really get in a groove, we've got the family pictures this afternoon/evening, so probably just about the time I get a full head of steam I'll have to drop everything and go stand in the hot sun and try and maintain a smile while I wrestle with the kids.

Of course, since the pictures are today, yesterday my number two son took a nasty spill while running down the sidewalk (something he had already been warned against) and ended up messing up his face pretty badly. In particular, the outside edge of his left nostril looks particularly bad (and is basically un-bandagable). Oh well, I suppose if the photo is suppossed to be an accurate snapshot of life, then we would have been remiss to not bring along at least one recently injured child.

On one of the mailing lists I belong to someone mentioned Garden State (I guess it has a shot of a bookshelf in someone's bedroom being filled with D&D stuff). I remember hearing that Zach Braff (J.D. from Scrubshad a film at Sundance, but I didn't make the connection until I started watching the trailers for Garden State that that's what it was. It sounds pretty good, though my guess is that in will play in Utah for all of a week and I'll be too busy to go see it.
